Editing Luke Skywalker (section)

====''Return of the Jedi''====
A year later, Luke is a Jedi Knight and has constructed his own lightsaber.<ref name=":0" /> At the beginning of ''[[Return of the Jedi]]'' (1983), he returns to Tatooine with Leia, Chewbacca and [[Lando Calrissian]] to rescue Han, who was frozen in [[carbonite (Star Wars)|carbonite]] and delivered to the crime lord [[Jabba the Hutt]]. Luke offers to negotiate with Jabba, who rejects his offer and imprisons him with a giant beast called a [[rancor]]. When Luke kills the rancor, Jabba decides to execute him, Han and Chewbacca by casting them into a [[Sarlacc|Sarlacc pit]]. Luke escapes with R2-D2's help, saving his friends and destroying Jabba's sail barge. Luke returns to Dagobah, where he learns from a dying Yoda that Vader is indeed his father. Luke is then informed by Obi-Wan's spirit that he has a twin sister, whom he realizes is Leia. Both Yoda and Obi-Wan tell Luke that he must face Vader again to finish his training and save the galaxy, but he is disturbed by the idea of killing his father.

While his companions undertake a mission on [[Endor (Star Wars)|Endor]], Luke surrenders to Vader in an attempt to bring him back from the dark side. Vader takes his son to the second Death Star and brings him before [[Palpatine|the Emperor]], who attempts to seduce him to the dark side. Luke lashes out at the Emperor with his lightsaber, but Vader blocks his strike, and the two of them duel once again. As Luke regains control of his emotions, Vader senses that he has a sister, and threatens to turn her to the dark side if Luke will not submit. Enraged, Luke overpowers Vader and severs his hand. The Emperor then orders Luke to kill Vader and take his place, but Luke refuses. The Emperor begins torturing Luke with [[Force lightning]], and Luke calls out to his father for help. Vader hesitates, then throws the Emperor down a reactor shaft to his death. Mortally wounded, Vader asks his son to remove his mask, which allows Luke to look upon the face of Anakin Skywalker for the first time. On Endor, Luke burns his father's body on a funeral pyre. As the Rebels celebrate the destruction of the Death Star and the fall of the Empire, Luke sees Anakin's spirit appear alongside the spirits of Obi-Wan and Yoda.
